Southern Comfort Food That Feels Like Home
with Chef Kate
in Dallas (North Dallas)
I had such an amazing experience in cooking class! Even though I was the only student that day, Brealynn made it feel like a full class. She has such a wonderful energy and made me feel completely at ease, helping calm my nerves and build my confidence in the kitchen.
We made chicken fried steak, broccolini, and mac & cheese — and everything turned out so delicious! The two hours flew by because it was such a fun, engaging, and encouraging experience.
What really stood out was how generous Brealynn was with her time and knowledge. She shared extra tips, offered her contact information in case I have questions when cooking on my own, and made sure I left feeling successful. Even her colleagues were also so kind and welcoming.
Overall, this class exceeded my expectations in every way. I left inspired and excited to cook again — I’ll absolutely be back for another class soon!

Beloved Tex-Mex From Scratch - Family Fun
with Chef Kate
in Dallas (North Dallas)
The class was fun. We got to made a try some things we would probably not have tried otherwise. I was a little disappointed that our class was so packed. Four people were crowded into a two person prep space and we all shared the duties which cut our experience in half. Our chef was great though! I appreciate how much extra he brought from his background into class. It’s evident that he’s passionate about sharing food with people.

Aromatic Wine Country Cuisine
with Chef Kate
in Dallas (North Dallas)
Chef Craig was very engaged with all of us. There were 14 in total in the group yet he successfully navigated around the room and answered everyone’s questions. We prepared a delicious spinach & beet salad making the dressing from scratch. We made a caramel sauce to pour over the cooked pears which were topped with an englaze sauce. Fingerling potatoes and a delicious steak that we were taught to season and cook to perfection!
We highly recommend this experience!
The cooking stations are paired into groups of 4 so if you want to experience this along with friends and family, group yourselves into groups of 4. You won’t regret it!
Thanks for ALL the cooking tips, Chef Craig!!

We baked macaroon cookies. The chef was very good at explaining each step. The class was fun, but too long. It took 3 hours to bake 8 cookies we came home with. The class was definitely overpriced.

Make Classic Chicken From Scratch
with Chef Kate
in Dallas (North Dallas)
I took the class on making chicken 3 ways. The experience was fantastic! The chef concentrated on instruction and oversite while a "helper" bustled around ensuring participants had what they needed and clearing away plates, bowls and trays to keep the work area clutter-free.
We actually made three different recipes with one chicken and even learned how to cut up a whole chicken! Breasts were fileted to make breaded cutlets (meal/recipe #1) that we pan-fried. The backbone & ribs of chicken (and meat left as pieces were cut away) were used to make broth and provide meat for the chicken noodle soup (recipe/meal #2). And all remaining pieces were coated with a marinade we made, and oven roasted over a layer of bite-size carrots & potatoes with artichoke hearts and green olives mixed in (meal/recipe #3). Excuse the photo, we were munching away on the other dishes before we thought to take a picture!
Chef was calm, helpful and reassuring the entire time. I've already signed up for two other classes!
